    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Some people will bite on anything fed to them as gospel (when it suits them).

    The title might be click bait but the article is not made up and contains quotes from various organizations which I think most normal people will consider to be idiotic.

    Frankly I'm surprised they have time to teach sex education in primary schools. How do they manage to fit it in? Nowadays the schools close for 'health and safety' at the first sign of a bit of sleet and when they are actually open the curriculum is all about climate change and visits to mosques.

    You know it's taken a lifetime for me to come to terms with my identity, and I thought I'd finally arrived at a point where I was 'comfortable in my own skin'. But it turns out that I should be having periods. What wrong with me? Why can't I be normal? I'm not a good fit for this world, and I think it would be better without a freak like me in it.

    I thought I may have got my period this morning, but it turned out to be piles.
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.
